I’ve got the 147e:2016 on Kubuntu 64bit 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-7. I was able to install right from the repositories but I can’t get the fprint_demo application to recognize the hardware. I get the same “no devices detected” that others have reported.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Mistral, vik on what latpop is intalled that chipset?

Vik, you specified that you can’t get it work on vista 32bit, why? on vista 64 bit does it work?
[i don't mind it all becouse i'm a unix like user, but the thing sounds interesting]

Will this be put into fprints main package before the Intrepid feature freze?

Installed fprint and companions (and libusb-1) and got it work - at least almost. As has already been mentioned a few times, I could rarely verify the fingerprint that I’ve enrolled. When can I expect a better scanning and/or interpretation of the image.

It took me some time to figure out how to use get able to use the latest software release. A hint on which file contains the utilities required (e.g. configure) and thus has to be “patched” in order to allow “making” the executable software would have saved me quite some time.

Thanks for the open source software - UPEK’s libraries are unusable for my notebook running under Linux x86_64, and they don’t have a 64 bit version - so much for the worth of closed source software.

My platform: Acer 6292, openSuSE 11.0 x86_64

It’s frustrating, I didn’t imagine it would be so hard to match my own fingerprints :D
I’ve managed to do it two times, then nothing.
What is good : the most or the less minutiae ?
